Jan 7, 2012Easily the catchiest album of the year, in my mind Holy Ghost headline the modern synth/dancepop revival in New York, and with good reason, they're experts at playing with rhythm and melody. Holy Ghost! has likely slipped through the cracks of a lot of top 10 lists, but their right up there with the best albums of the year.

May 4, 2011Layered synthesizers, eccentric vocals and clean, bouncy production bring this album together as another solid disco-influenced dance-pop addition to DFA's catalogue.

May 8, 2011Daft punk kinda sold out, *cough, Block buster soundtrack, cough*. LCD soundsystem just died. So we were defiantly some, who were missing good dance/disco/electro alt. pop. And here it is. So thank you Ghost, and especially thank you for "Wait and See".

Oct 23, 2011One of the best NeoDisco/Alt Dance albums of the year. The band took me by surprise with a combination of relaxed b-sides and massive tracks. 'Jam for Jerry' is absolutely amazing.

Under The RadarJun 8, 2011The '80s were a great decade. Holy Ghost! bring that back to us in our antithesis to the '80s' time. [May 2011, p.79]

Q MagazineMay 18, 2011The only problem is that the duo never manage to execute a truly killer pop hook, resulting in a debut that breezes by in a pleasant but ultimately forgettable haze. [May 2011, p.116]

May 4, 2011As long as Holy Ghost! continue to cherry-pick the best moments of their particular strain of the musical past, they may just have a promising future.
